The Texas
legislative session ends soon, and TIME
IS RUNNING OUT for SB 295 to move forward. We will lose the
fight for Texas dogs to have adequate shelter and humane restraints if SB 295
isn’t voted out of the House Calendars committee in the next 3 days.

Texas dogs
need you to speak up loudly to your Representative and because time is so sort,
we are asking you to deliver your message through every possible channel. If
you have called before, please call again! If you have emailed before, please
email again!

We
need to deliver this message:

“The
dogs of Texas are running out of time. As your constituent, I’m asking you to
please help us get SB 295 out of Calendars Committee and to the House floor
today.”

With so
many bills running out of time, elected officials are hearing from lots of
people around the clock. But we need them to hear from us! Here are some
examples of how to break through the noise and reach your representative:

Phone: Please go here and
put in your address. Hit enter and you will click on your Texas

On
Twitter: Find your Texas State House
Representative’s Twitter handle here and

SB295 and help get it out of the Calendars Committee (feel free to include

Facebook: Please go to your Texas State
House Representative’s page and first “Like” the page if you haven’t
